Math Pathways Guide Use This Guide to Help You Choose the Correct Math Courses for Your Major The Path to Success SCHOOL OF MATHEMATICS Math Pathways Guide Use this guide to help you choose the correct math courses for your major. What is a Mathematics Pathway? The mathematics pathway is a collection or sequence of mathematics courses offered in the School of Mathematics at Daytona State College. It offers clear direction from the program or Meta major to courses that are needed to meet the general education requirements. This booklet will help you guide students through the mathematics pathways that are available to them at Daytona State. They can save time and money when students choose the right pathway. The School of Mathematics is eagerly waiting to assist them in their educational endeavors. What is a Jobs for Math Majors that Offer Awesome Opportunities Mathematics Some think jobs for math majors are only about crunching numbers in an ivory tower. Think again. Degrees can open the door to a huge range of amazing careers. After all, math is involved in just about Pathway? every job in some way, and it's particularly essential in the in-demand fields of science, technology, and engineering. If students have a solid grasp of math, jobs in many areas become more available to them. Math majors tend to have well-developed skills in logical thinking and problem solving. We have assembled a list of entry-level jobs for math grads with a bachelor's degree as well as a few jobs that require more advanced training. This list is meant to inspire students' career exploration, but don't think students are limited to these suggestions. Many jobs that don't specifically mention math degrees are available to graduates with these skills, so don't sell the student short. They likely have more options than you realize. Math Occupations Level Education Median Pay Job Outlook (2016–2026) Accountant Bachelor's $69,350 10% Actuaries Bachelor's $101,560 22% Aerospace Engineer Bachelor's $113,030 6% Biologist Bachelor's $62,290 8% Biomedical Engineer Bachelor's $88,040 7% Chemical Engineer Bachelor's $102,160 8% Civil Engineer Bachelor's $84,770 11% Computer Programming Bachelor's $82,240 -7% Enviornmental Engineer Bachelor's $86,800 8% Financial Manager Bachelor's $125,080 19% Forensic Science Technician Bachelor's $57,850 17% Geographer Bachelor's $76,860 7% Mechanical Engineer Bachelor's $85,880 9% Operations Research Analysts Bachelor's $81,930 27% Petroleum Engineers Bachelor's $132,280 15% Epidemiologists Master's $69,660 9% Mathematicians and Statisticians Master's $84,760 33% Physicist Ph.D. $117,220 14% Post-Secondary Teacher Ph.D. $76,600 15% On-Time 2 & On-Time 3 Classes Work (7-Week Sections) The On-Time 2 and On-Time 3 graduation plans allow full-time students to focus on three courses at a time and part-time students to focus on two classes at a time and graduate within two or three years. In the On-Time 2 schedule, a student completes two A-term sections, one full-term section, and 2 B-term sections each semester to graduate in two years. In the On-Time 3 schedule, a student completes one course in A-term, in full-term, and in B-term each semester (plus one in each summer semester) to graduate in three years. Short-term sections, particularly in mathematics or foreign language, frequently have higher success rates than those completed over the course of a full-term semester. We believe this is because mathematics is like a language where it is best learned if a student is immersed in the subject. To do math every day, or to speak a language every day, is the surest way for students to learn the material. In fact, data about success rates in short-term versus full-term semesters shows that in most cases students succeed at higher rates in short-term courses. During the 2016-17 academic year, for example, students completing a full-term MGF2106 were successful 76% of the time during fall semester and 70% of the time during spring semester. But during the A-term semester, students were successful 80% of the time during fall semester and 93% of the time during the spring semester. The college also has data that breaks this down by students’ PERT score, which shows that on 14 measures, students did better in 10 of those instances. We encourage you to get them into these short-term courses to better help them succeed in their math courses! GET THERE FASTER! At DSC, we know a thing or two about how to help our students stay on track. Our On-Time Finish plans give you a clear path to get the right classes and graduate on time with your associate of arts university transfer degree. You decide whether you want to complete your degree in TWO years or THREE, depending on your life circumstances, and we’ll help you make sure it happens. ASK AN ACADEMIC ADVISOR TODAY!

This is particularly true of math courses because of the assistance students get from their professors, in which explanations, proofs, and equations make more sense with the professor working out a problem with the student right there. When communicating through email or in a discussion forum, this help is watered down because of the time between a professor answering a question and when a student asks for further clarification. Professors can’t read non-verbal clues indicating a lack of understanding through email or through online discussions. Students also benefit from face-to-face courses because they are required to work through problems without using the book or other materials as a crutch. This helps build their critical thinking skills, which will help them be more successful in later courses. To help our students better succeed in math, often by 10% or more, your help is needed to get them into face-to-face sections. Consider these statistics comparing the difference in success between face-to-face and online courses: Face-to-Face Completion Online Completion Rates By Course (2015-16) Rates By Course (2015-16) of students taking MAT1033 of students taking MAT1033 71% Intermediate Algebra 68% Intermediate Algebra of students taking MGF2106 of students taking MGF2106 80% Survey in Mathematics 75% Survey in Mathematics of students taking MGF2017 of students taking MGF2017 82% Liberal Arts Mathematics 73% Liberal Arts Mathematics of students taking MAC1105 of students taking MAC1105 81% College Algebra 71% College Algebra of students taking STA2023 of students taking STA2023 71% Elementary Statistics 62% Elementary Statistics Frequently Asked Questions about MAT1033 Intermediate Algebra, MAC1105 College Algebra, MGF2107 Liberal Arts Mathematics and MGF2106 Survey in Mathematics 1. Do I receive college credit for MAT1033 or MAT1033A? Yes. These classes both count as elective credit toward an Associate of Arts degree. Although they do not satisfy the general education math requirements for associate degree programs, they provide a solid foundation for students who need to take MAC1105 - College Algebra for their majors. Please consult an academic advisor to determine how MAT1033 might apply to your program of study. 2. Can I take College Algebra MAC1105 after I have taken MAT0028? No. If you want to take MAC1105, you’ll either need to earn a high enough score on the PERT mathematics test, or complete MAT1033 or MAT1033A with a grade of “C” or better. 3. If I take MGF2106, what Math class should I take next? If you receive a C or better in MGF2106, then you are eligible to take STA2023 and MGF2107. 4. Which course is easier, MAT1033 or MGF2106? MGF2106 deals with more “real world” applications of mathematics, and is appropriate for students entering many fields. The class is a computer-based course that includes some basic algebra, logic, reasoning, geometry, stats, and finance. MAT1033 is an algebra course that prepares students with the mathematics skills needed to move on to MAC1105, MAC1140, MAC1114, and MAC2311, which are required for many science, technology, and engineering programs. 5. What happens if I take MGF2106 but my program requires MAC1105 College Algebra? In order to take MAC1105, you have to be eligible based on placement scores or take MAT1033 or MAT1033A and receive a grade of “C” or better prior to taking MAC1105. 6. Do I have computer work in MGF2106? Yes.

  • Department of Education College Justifications
    CCNUM College Name Status Justification 1 Eastern Florida Adjusted The continued impact of the Covid-19 pandemic makes predicting enrollment with certainty challenging. The data related to high school graduate projections and State College Brevard County population projections provided by the State to Eastern Florida State College (EFSC) have been reviewed carefully in addition to internal data and planned opening of academic program to adjust the State FEP/COFTE projections. The primary reason for adjustments is to account for upper division projections by the Division of Florida Colleges (DFC) that appear to be lower than we anticipate, to account for projected population and high school graduation increases, and efforts to re-engage recent high school graduates who have been more reluctant to start out their college careers amid the uncertainty of the pandemic. EFSC has increased upper division enrollment by more than 10% each of the last three years and we project that increases over the next few years will continue to be strong. This year will mark the opening of the fifth bachelor’s degree program at EFSC which we anticipate will contribute to the continued growth in upper division enrollment. With the exception of RY 2022, the DFC has projected decline in upper division enrollment by more than 2% each year. In addition to this increase adjustment, there are number of factors that in a normal year would support an increase in FTE projected over the DFC projections for the other credit types in the model. These aspects include: • Strong increases in enrollment in baccalaureate programs contributing to some lower division enrollment • Increases in Brevard County high school graduates • Brevard County population increases in the 18-24- and 25-39-year age group However, in the upcoming year we acknowledge that the pandemic continues to cause uncertainty with programs and courses that rely heavily on face-to-face instruction such as our vocational programs and developmental education.

Initially a private facility, its first classes met in a borrowed unused section of the new St. Petersburg High School, with 102 enrolled students who were taught by 14 faculty members - the first class of 48 graduated in 1929. In 2001, SPJC became the first two-year Florida community college to make the transition into a four-year institution – and became SPC. Today St. Petersburg College stands as a multi-campus, two-year/four- year public institution with 10 learning sites in St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Tarpon Springs, Pinellas Park, Largo and Seminole, and services that are administered throughout Florida, the nation and beyond The University Partnership Center (UPC), located at the SPC Seminole Campus, opened in 1999, with six Florida institutions as partners. Though today, students can choose from over 100 bachelor and graduate degree programs offered by a variety of well-respected and accredited colleges and universities that are located both in and outside the state of Florida - without leaving Pinellas County! Over the years, SPC has invested its resources to meet, and in many ways surpass the needs of students admitted each year, and is always planning for the ever-growing expectations of students who will be entering its doors in the future.
